Special forum subscription [message #27345]

Hi,
I run fudforum for a *small* community of developers.

We needed a feature that once a user is subscribed to a forum he gets mail notifications for any new topic and any new post in the forum, without the need to manually subscribe each new topic.

This proven useful once we realised that often a user does not realise immediately that a new topic is of interest for him, but only at subsequent posts.

We realised this by patching php code of version 2.3.7 which we are still running; we are not skilled in php, so probably we were just a little bit lucky in succeeding ;-)

Could it be reasonable to include this option?

As proposal, smtg like "subscribe, unsubscribe, extended subscribe" for forums.

May be for large sites this feature is probably useless ... or may be not ... I do not know

###

I see two possible ways to roll it out:

1)- have a flag for "extended forum subscription" that if true sends notification, regardless of topic subscription

2)- if "extended forum subscription" is active, user is automatically subscribed to new topics, still leaving the user the possibility to "unsubscribe"

Personally I think the 1) is simpler to implement and to use.

Look forward and thank you for this good product.
